"I love you."
His hands grazed the side of my face and settle on the back of my neck.
Then it happens, the kiss is gentle at first but becomes fiery and passionate. My fingers tangled in his messy hair. Chest to chest, his hand lingers to my waist and pulls me in closer, tighter. His kisses start to migrate from my lips down my face until he's kissing my neck. The feeling of his hot breath against my neck sends butterflies to my stomach...
.................
I shoot out of bed, breathing hard and fast. My dream still heavy on my mind. I glance around my room to see if anyone is here. I spot Sage sleeping on my love seat and I assume that is the only person in my room. My memories from last night are mixed and confused so I can't be sure.
I step out of bed and walk over to the door, as I walk past my mirror I notice I'm still in the red dress. I shrug, not much I can do about it now, I don't feel like changing anyways. The second I open my door I walk straight into someone.
"You're not supposed to be awake," the strong voice says, "get back to sleep... We can't have you running off to the party again."
It's the same voice from my dream, it takes me a moment to recognize it but once I realize who it is, I wish I hadn't. Charlie steps into the dim lighted room.
"Don't make me pick you up again!"
I look up to him, avoiding eye contact, and said, "but I'm hungry."
"What do you want, I'll go grab it."
I had a strange craving for avocados so I told him and he ran downstairs and quickly returned with the lovely tasting food I had been craving as well as a plate and knife.
"Here. Now get to your bed!"
"Thank you," I smiled, then obeyed his request and returned to my bed with him following me to make sure.
I tried to look him in the eye multiple times but each time I did memories flooded my mind from my dream. What did it mean? Do I actually feel that way about him? I didn't know, I was still a little tipsy so it could be the alcohol I told myself. But I knew that wasn't the truth.
